Types of breakersBeach<\/b>breaker<\/b> Breaker with sand bottom. The sand accumulates in zones (sandbanks) due to the waves themselves and gives rise to the different peaks of the beach. The seabed is usually not very constant because the sandy seabed is very changeable. Sometimes there are peaks that last for days, although there is a tendency for sand to accumulate in approximately the same places on each beach. Reef Breaks<\/b> Most of the world's waves break on these seabeds, either as rock or coral. The advantage of these bottoms is that they remain constant and only the direction and size of the swell will condition the waves, not forgetting of course our friend the wind. Another advantage or disadvantage, depending on how you look at it, is that the stone does not absorb the energy of the wave and when it breaks it does so with its full potential. Hence those wide, fat-lipped tubes. It is not advisable for beginners or those surfers with a low level, as it increases the risk of injury exponentially. Probably the most famous reef break in the world is Pipeline in Hawaii. Point Breaks<\/b> Waves that break at a specific point (small variation) depending on sea directions and currents and go along (sweeping) the coast for a long distance. It is the perfect wave for improving and perfecting carving maneuvers. There are those that break with or without tubes, but they are long and beautiful. There are many waves around the world with these characteristics, although for me the one that takes the cake and has me in love is a right that breaks in Jeffrey's Bay (South Africa) and that we all know by the name of the Bay. In Spain, there is another wonder like this one in Lobos Island.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
